Kundalini Yoga Effective for Anxiety Disorder or is it

(0:00 - 0:29)

(0:00) Hi, this is Dr. Daniels and welcome to Healing with Dr. Daniels. You are listening to the Sunday, September 6th, 2020 edition. And today's topic is Kundalini Yoga: Helpful for Generalized Anxiety.

(0:19) Or is it? So today I'm going to examine the latest research and how effective is effective. And as always, think happens. But first, we are going to take our turpentine.

(0:29 - 5:16)

(0:29) And we take turpentine. We need, of course, our white sugar. I have it labeled sugar. Yay. And one thing you really want to do when you start doing, especially the more home healing you do, you really want to make sure you label stuff. Even if this stuff is simple and silly. It's the same sugar, but hey, it could be salt. It could be a vitamin C. They all look the same. So label your stuff.

(1:03) All right. Next thing we're going to do is we're going to stir this up so we don't have any lumps. I happen to live in a high heat, high humidity area where lumps in sugar do happen. And this is my white sugar. And next I want to get my turpentine.

(1:26) Now again, same thing. You really want to label stuff. It is so, so, so important. It's easy to get lazy about this. They have all kinds of really fancy labeling systems online that you can buy. I've tried them all. But painter's tape and a Sharpie. It is quick. It is easy. And you're going to label your stuff. All the other labels are just too elaborate and have too many specialized parts and pieces. So it's so easy to say, I'll label it later, label it later, and then later becomes later. And you don't know what's in that bottle. Or even worse, people in your house don't know what's in the bottle. And you don't want that.

(2:14) Here we go. So this is a pipette. And up the neck is how much I want. So you can see I have a little too much. So I'm going to squirt some out because this is natural healing. More is not better. You want just right.

(2:26) And so here we have it. I'll show you. Just. That is just right. The level is right there, just at the neck. All right. So we take the turpentine and the sugar, and we put the two together. Yeah. You squirt that right on there. And you keep squirting until you get every last bit out. There we go. And we have a handy glass of water. Yay. It's here for water, I'm telling you.

(3:13) I really need to wash that down. That means I have to refill my water. So we've got backup water here. There we go. I don't know why it took extra water today, but sometimes it does. And then, of course, we're going to do Shilajit. Yay, Shilajit, mommy-o. From the mountains of Russia. As you can see, my label is quite worn. This little 100 gram jar is enough for a year and a half. So I've been using this for a while. Your label will probably wear off long before you finish it.

(3:55) And the dose is only 200 milligrams, which is more or less a quarter of a quarter teaspoon. And so here we have about that. Yeah. And we're going to take that. And as you can see, when you put it in the water, it does not readily dissolve. So rather than drive ourselves crazy, we're going to let it sit and drink it either later in the show or during the show.

(4:31) We're having an earthquake. Well, hopefully it'll settle down. Oh no, it's still, earthquake is still going on. Well, we're just going to continue with the show. And if the earthquake gets any worse, we'll just see how it goes. Just putting our tops back on everything because, I mean, it is an earthquake. Things could fall over.

(5:02) Alrighty. So that's our turpentine. And if you want to know more about turpentine, go to vitalitycapsules.com. And you want to get your free, free report entitled The Candida Cleaner, which tells you everything you might ever want to know about turpentine. How I discovered it, how I have used it in the past, how I've recommended it in the past. And you can decide if it might be something that you'd be interested in.

(5:16 - 6:14)

(5:16) All right. Next, Vitality Capsules. Yay! Regular and extra strength are indeed in stock. No, we're not having a sale because we are already beginning to make the next batch. In other words, we don't have enough inventory to have a sale without selling out. So what we're doing is they are available now. They're available at regular price. If you want discounts, you can just buy the higher volume and then you'll have the higher volume discounts. And Vitality Capsules are awesome. They're the amazing internal cleanser for everyday use. Gentle enough for everyday use.

(6:14 - 6:32)

(6:14) Ah, we do answer questions on the radio show. Sometimes I get to them, sometimes I don't. So if you have a particular burning issue you'd like addressed, appointments are available. Not very many, but some. And those are also available at vitalitycapsules.com.

(6:32 - 7:28)

(6:32) So today's topic. Today's topic is Kundalini Yoga, which is helpful for generalized anxiety. Where is it? And a lot of times when doctors or even lay people read the heading of something, you read it and it has all these emotional triggers in it. And so you think you know what you're talking about, but maybe you don't really. So what we're going to do is we're going to take a look at what exactly is the title. What exactly did they study? And once we figure out what exactly they studied, we can sort out what exactly was the finding.

(7:28 - 11:23)

(7:28) So first you want to know what is Kundalini Yoga. I read this topic. Kundalini Yoga: Helpful for Generalized Anxiety. And in my mind it said, ah, yoga helpful for anxiety. Oh yeah, that sounds good. But let's dig a little deeper.

(7:32) Okay, so this comes from Medscape. I love, love, love Medscape because they're such a treasure trove of information. And it says, Yoga for Anxiety: Surprising Findings. Kundalini Yoga can be helpful for patients with a generalized anxiety disorder, GAD, but it is not as effective as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT. I said, oh, wait a minute. Uh-oh, BS detector. So CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, this brings me back to 1982. 82, again in 86, and again in 94. Those are rough time periods where it was determined that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is talk therapy, was no more effective than placebo.

(8:35) And so now we're finding out that yoga for anxiety is helpful, but not as helpful as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Whoa, wait a minute, back up. So then I had to say, wait, what is Kundalini Yoga? So it helps to know what Kundalini Yoga is. Now way back when, I'll show you how old I am, there's a thing called Tantric Yoga, which basically was yoga combined with sexual something or other. And basically in the lay demographic, the non-yoga people, oh, Tantric Yoga, that's just those yoga people trying to sell sex with the fancy title. That was the pejorative perception. This is in the 90s. Again, that was just, that was the perception back then.

(10:02) So now we have Kundalini, which means you take the Tantric Yoga and you move it around a bit. But let's just see what they say. Kundalini Yoga is a breath of fire yoga. Uses an energetic, quick, rhythmic breathing called breath of fire. Kundalini Yoga focuses more on the internal energy, circulation, glandular secretions, that would be like ejaculation in the male, let's say. And rising the Kundalini energy, that would be helping a guy get an erection. I mean, just saying, comparison, comparison.

(10:37) Okay, so we have this type of yoga. It sounds pretty exciting to me, and it's supposed to help people with anxiety disorder. All right, so now we have a vague idea of what Kundalini Yoga is. So Kundalini, and here they say you can combine it with Tantric Yoga. Kundalini and Tantric, they go together. A technique, a system of healing combines movement and breathing, and it raises the energy within your body and activates your glands to regenerate. So in other words, your reproductive sexual glands to do whatever they do. Okay, so we got an idea here of what we're talking about. We're talking about Kundalini Yoga.

(11:23 - 17:20)

(11:23) Okay, but wait, it doesn't stop there. Kundalini Yoga, we now know what that is, can be helpful. That's the medical term, leaves them deniability. So in case we're wrong, guys, we can just say, hey, we said it could be, we didn't say it was, it could be. Okay, it could be for patients with generalized anxiety disorder. So you have someone with generalized anxiety, and you're going to subject them to this very high energy, rhythmic breathing practice that's going to fill their body with more energy. All right, okay, we're just trying to understand what they're saying, but not as effective as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Again, BS detectors go off, talk therapy, useless. That's in my mind, but hey, we don't want to jump to conclusions. We want to, we want to get to the bottom of this.

(12:04) So what is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? Well, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a psychosocial intervention that aims to improve mental health, focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems. So we still don't have any idea what it is, but we go and we take another look.

(12:54) Okay, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a talking therapy. Okay, so this is talk therapy, like lay on the couch kind of thing, that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. It is most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems. That expression, again, can be. All right, so we're talking about talk therapy.

(13:17) So I'm saying, but wait a minute, I remember back in those three pivotal years in the early 80s, late 80s, and mid-90s, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was declared as effective as placebo, or doing nothing. So the next question is, how do we know it works? Or more precisely, so we'll compare it with drug therapy. Cognitive therapy and antidepressant drug medication have comparable short-term effects. So it's about the same as drug therapy.

(14:18) Right, well then we go for how effective is talk therapy compared to placebo. Well, here's where we get a little bit of information here. For generalizing anxiety's order, talk therapy was superior as compared to control or pill placebo conditions, and equally effective as relaxation therapy, which means you tell a person to take a nap or have them listen to a relaxation CD. Supportive therapy or drug therapy, but less effective in comparison to attention placebos. Wait a minute, it was superior when compared to pill placebo, but it was less effective than attention placebo. Well, what's attention placebo? Here is where the chain of logic breaks.

(15:12) So attention placebo is considered a highly valid control condition when conducting trials of social interventions. Unfortunately, it's rarely used. So what's an attention placebo group? Attention control groups receive the same dose of interpersonal interaction or attention as the intervention participants, but they do not receive any other elements of the intervention. For example, let's say a talk therapist is trained to ask certain questions, to say certain things to the patient in order to influence them and help them heal from their anxiety disorder. That would be the experimental group, that would be the intervention group, that would be the talk therapy group. The attention placebo group gets the same one hour therapy session, but no therapy. They might talk about sports or the weather or whatever, or just chit chat.

(16:34) So when you compare the behavioral therapy group to the just chit chat social attention group, the chit chat social attention group is actually superior. Okay, so now we know that cognitive behavioral therapy is less effective than just having a conversation with either a neutral party or a friend or even a stranger. And so this ineffective therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, is the current first-line treatment for the disorder, which is generalized anxiety disorder. And now they suggest, they're saying, well kundalini yoga is helpful, but not as helpful as a therapy we now know to be ineffective.

(17:20 - 19:02)

(17:20) Okay, but it gets better. So the three-armed randomized study of adults show that those who participate in this group of this type of yoga, those who received cognitive behavioral therapy, talk therapy, had significantly higher response rates at 12 weeks compared to patients who received stress education. Again, we don't know what stress education was. Stress education may actually have been stressful, because what do you do during stress education? Well, talk about stress. What's that going to do with someone who has generalized anxiety? Probably going to make them a little more anxious. So was that a valid placebo group? Probably not. However, non-inferiority testing showed that the yoga intervention group was not as effective as the cognitive behavioral therapy group. So we still don't have any numbers, right? What they've done is they've given us study results, at the same time given us zero, no, nothing information.

(18:54) So what does this tell us? It tells me that they're getting ready to cover kundalini yoga classes under regular insurance. That's what tells me. In addition, only the cognitive behavioral therapy group showed a significant response rate at six-month follow-up, supporting that cognitive behavioral therapy should remain first-line treatment, the investigators note. Now apparently the investigators did not go back to see how cognitive behavioral therapy was tested. To realize that a conversation with your grandmother of similar duration was actually superior.

(19:02 - 20:23)

(19:02) Given its multiple components, the researchers hypothesized, that means they guessed, that kundalini yoga would be as effective as CBT. Study investigator Dr. So-and-so of New York University, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. Okay. She added that although the results were in contrast to her expectations, in some ways it makes sense, insomuch as cognitive behavioral therapy is very targeted, especially for generalized anxiety disorder. She added, the findings suggest there could be a role, could be, a role for yoga in a general treatment plan, especially if patients don't have access to or are unable to participate in cognitive behavioral therapy. So someone can't find a cognitive behavioral therapist, they could go see maybe a kundalini yoga person and the insurance would pay for that, you see.

(20:23 - 21:32)

(20:23) Gold standard comparison. Aha, here we are. Generalized anxiety disorder is a common impairing condition and yet remains undertreated. People need more options to be able to access effective evidence-based care, Simon said. Again, you know, we can see the evidence that she's using. She noted that two of the investigators had preliminary data that kundalini yoga might be effective for anxiety. So we wanted to understand, does it work for a real anxiety disorder in a rigorous study that compares it to first line gold standard evidence-based treatment?

(21:32 - 22:26)

(21:32) So over the years, I've gotten a lot more information about yoga and I've actually, you know, done yoga myself. I would like to turn their attention to hatha yoga, which is not as stimulating as kundalini yoga, you know, that fast breathing stuff, just saying. So the researchers enrolled adult patients who had received clinical diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder from two academic centers over a period of seven years. 226 participants, mean age 33 years, millennials, were randomly assigned to receive kundalini yoga intervention or stress education. Now again, stress education is what? It's stressful. So people are focusing their attention on what? Stress, stress, stress, stress, stress. So you can actually, this thing they're using as a control group can actually be expected to worsen the underlying condition, like using a sugar pill as a control when you're measuring a diabetic medication.

(22:26 - 25:04)

(22:26) Each intervention included three to six participants per group and consisted of 12 two-hour sessions plus 20 minutes of daily homework assignments. Yeah, a daily 20-minute homework assignment would send someone with generalized anxiety through the roof. It would make them a little more anxious for sure. Cognitive behavioral therapy used an evidence-based protocol. Stress education acted as a control intervention and consists of a variety of lectures including the importance of exercise and a healthy diet. Again, you have generalized anxiety disorder, the person's going to feel inadequate, you know, so we can see how their stress therapy here is going to definitely worsen their stress.

(23:19) The primary analysis was completed in February. It included non-inferiority testing of Kundalini yoga as well as superiority testing of this yoga type. Moderately potent, so medium potent. Results show response rates in 12 weeks were greater in the yoga group, 54 percent, than in the stress education group, 33 percent. So 33 percent of the control group responded. We don't know what the response is. As well as in the cognitive behavioral therapy talk group, 70 percent versus stress education group. Okay, so the numbers need to treat need to treat for the yoga and CBD groups versus the stress education group were 4.5 and 2.6. So for every one person who benefited from or who you treated and got benefit in the cognitive behavioral therapy group or the talk group, you had to treat five people with stress education and two and a half, call it three people, with stress reduction.

(24:34) However, on further testing, the researchers were unable to conclude that yoga was better or not worse than cognitive behavioral therapy. Conversely, we're unable to conclude that cognitive behavioral therapy was significantly better than yoga and superiority tests, they write. So once they crunched all the numbers, they really couldn't see where yoga was worse than talk therapy or where talk therapy was worse than yoga. So neither is worse than the other. But at six months follow-up, the response rate was higher for cognitive behavioral therapy versus stress, but not for yoga versus stress education.

(25:04 - 27:08)

(25:04) So no treatment-related serious adverse events were reported by any of the participants regarding things that were possibly related to treatment. There were three reports of joint pain, one report of tingling and vertigo in the yoga group, three reports of anxiety, two bulimia episodes, and one report of depression in the talk therapy group, and one report of anxiety in the education group. Overall, the available literature and our data support that yoga may be a helpful but only moderately powerful intervention for generalized anxiety disorder, the investigators write. It sounds pretty useless to me. I mean, when you look at the data, it's just saying. Given the increasing cost of health care and barriers to accessing trained medical mental health care professionals, however, yoga may still have a role to play in generalized anxiety disorder management as an intervention that is more easily accessible to add.

(26:26) Simon, whoever that is, agreed, as in Simon says, noting that for at least some patients, yoga may be beneficial in the short term. More research is needed to understand who really can benefit the most from yoga and what can be done to help those responses last for a longer term, she said. Now, any of you who have done yoga know that you have to do your yoga every day. If you sloshed on your yoga, let's say you skip it for a week or two, then whether it's your flexibility or whatever it is you're trying to improve, it slides back to wherever it was. So yoga is not a one-time cure for anything. It's you decide to do it, then you do it, and it benefits you while you're doing it. So they didn't say if they had the yoga group continue to practice their yoga for the six-month interval. That is not clear. I'm guessing not.

(27:08) More research is needed to understand who really can benefit the most from yoga and what can be done to help those responses last for a longer term. Ask whether other types of yoga might be more effective or whether yoga plus CBT or talk therapy could be more effective than talk therapy alone. Simon said, those are open questions that future studies should investigate. I laugh at that because in medical school, we're often told, oh, future studies should look at that, and never once, never once did those future studies ever materialize. I mean, I've only been at this for, what, 30, 40 years? Yeah.

(27:08 - 29:35)

(27:08) Commenting on the study, another doctor says, it's important to look at the size of the study's patient population, the type of patient being evaluated, and the length of treatment. The devil's always in the details, says the critic, who was not involved with the research. This person knows the current participants were relatively young, mostly white, and mostly employed. Okay. This was a select group of people, many of whom had been on psychotropic medication before coming in, so the group wanted to get some help. And even though this type of yoga didn't do as well as talk therapy, it clearly could be an adjunct for those who have financial difficulties or don't want formal psychiatric care, she said. She pointed out that this was a small, well-done pilot study of a very important diagnosis and of evidence-based treatments for it.

(29:35) So now another thing, again, as you read more about this, you have to look at the money behind the scenes. So what they're saying is, hey, wait a minute, are they just going to email a link to somebody with depression saying, watch this yoga, or listen to this cognitive behavioral therapy tape, or mp3, and then the insurance company just keeps the money? Or how does this work? So there's two ways this could go. One, yoga teachers could become flushed with money. Or two, insurance companies could simply say, hey, we're sending you a yoga CD, deal with it. Or a yoga mp4. This type of yoga did pretty well in this population of people for a particular range of time. That was a good signal.

(29:35 - 30:39)

(29:35) And so the study, of course, is funded by National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. Ah, okay. That explains a lot. So the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, they are the people who are alternative healers who accept the medical paradigm and simply want to substitute natural therapies here and there for drugs. And so that definitely would explain the whole approach to the study.

(30:39 - 34:27)

(30:39) But what we have here then, if you take a look at this, right back to the very beginning here, Yoga for Anxiety, Surprising Findings, is we are comparing something, we'll call it yoga, to something else, talk therapy, which is certified not effective. So if we follow the CBT therapy, the cognitive behavioral therapy, and we ask the question, what is it? Okay, it's talk therapy, got that. And then we ask the next question, how does talk therapy compare to drug therapy? We find out it's about the same. Then we say, well, how is the talk therapy compared to placebo? And then it boils down to placebo is better than talk therapy. Placebo, which is what you and I would think of as placebo, which means no medical intervention, whatever. You know, you got a problem, you know, talk to auntie about it, talk to grandma about it, maybe chit chat with the girlfriends, if you're a guy, you go to the gym and pump some iron or something.

(32:14) So what we have then here is CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy, or talk therapy, is not superior to just plain low content, no content conversation where a person is just simply social. And then we say, okay, well, what's the placebo that you compared it to? And then they reveal the placebo is, well, just talking to somebody. So we have here, the important thing to understand, one, if you want to do yoga, of course do yoga. Is it going to improve your anxiety? Probably not, condolino, I'll tell you that. That's some pretty vigorous, exciting yoga. But again, if you've done yoga, which I have for decades, then you know that as soon as you stop doing yoga, the benefits of yoga simply just go away. So if you are doing yoga for some purpose, whatever it is, then whenever you stop doing yoga, you've got to make some other lifestyle adjustment to maintain your results or to get results. So let's use a different mechanism. Maybe it's going to be a dietary change. Maybe it's going to be eliminating the part of your life that causes anxiety.

(33:49) But the actual effectiveness of this particular thing is compared, not to placebo, but to a known medical intervention, which people are paying money for, which is also known to be ineffective. And so once you realize that the therapy they are comparing it to is itself not effective, and then it shows that this particular yoga type is a little less effective than the known therapy, then you realize, not that yoga is bad, but it's just something that you can do if you want to, and that this particular study has not shown it to be particularly useful for anything. But again, just like the, I call it the 6 o'clock news, the headline, Yoga for Anxiety, Surprising Findings, It May Be Helpful, is totally and completely misleading. And certainly for a busy doctor who's just rushing through these headlines, trying to keep up, trying to keep up, trying to keep up, it's difficult to get to the bottom of it.

(34:27 - 37:56)

(34:27) In my case, it was pretty simple, because I've been in medicine for so many decades, and I've heard so many versions of might be helpful, could be helpful, only to find in actual medical practice it was no use at all. And then when you go back and research, well, what was the placebo that was being used? What did they compare it to, to show that it was effective? Oh, we gave them stress therapy, we stress them out every day. Okay. So that was the placebo group. And so that particular group was going to have bad results. It was a setup for bad results. And unfortunately, this is the case with really most of medicine, whether it's therapy for hypertension, whether it's therapy for diabetes, the placebo group they compare to is always a group that worsens the underlying disease being treated. So the intervention being proposed, even if it's of no benefit at all, it's going to appear to be beneficial by comparison. So that is the case.

(36:14) All right. Many people I know have been interested in how mom is doing. So mom was home briefly, the grandkids came to visit and had been rotating through, each one spending a week with her, a week, a week, a week. And so this past week, mom just waved the, I guess it's the yellow flag and said, I want to go to rehab. I think they need to teach me how to walk. It's okay, mom. So now mom is sitting in a hospital and we have visitors every day, visiting her and bringing her water and food. And so hopefully cross her fingers. She'll be going to rehab today or tomorrow. And she's 88 years old and she is fully expecting that they're going to show her and teach her how to walk. Now, mom is a wonderful believer in the power of education, the power of instruction. And this might not be the kind of thing you can instruct your way out of, but we are going to find out. Meanwhile, we've got the family as well as interested parties mobilized to be sure their mom gets her ham hocks or pig ears or heavy dose of collagen therapy to strengthen her muscles and ligaments so that she can benefit maximally from the fine instruction we hope that she will be receiving. So that is the story about mom.

(37:56 - 38:40)

(37:56) Oh, wait, let's go back to anxiety. I forgot. I have to tell you guys how to cure your anxiety. Remember, this is not medical advice. I did not learn this in medical school. Yes, I did go to medical school, but they didn't teach this in medical school. I took all my medical exams. I passed them. I did very well. I was board certified. Yay, me! But still, no mention of the cure for anxiety. The cure for anxiety is very simple. It is two to six strips of bacon a day. Yep. And you can take some rice or you can take some vegetables or some sauce, sop up that oil from the gravy and eat that too. And it gets rid of anxiety generally in a few days. Not bad, huh? Not too shabby.

(38:40 - 53:33)

(38:40) Alrighty, let us go. And check out the questions. Questions, questions. Here we are. Yay, questions. I found them. Oh my gosh. Technology is great. It doesn't always work, but golly geez when it does.

(39:13) A friend of mine has alopecia. Can you give any advice? It would be much appreciated. I listened to all your podcasts. You have helped me a great deal and God bless you. Alright, so with many different kinds of alopecia. One common alopecia is if you wear braids like this, then it causes the hair around the edges to fall out and you can literally go bald starting around the edges working towards the center if you keep getting your hair braided. So one way to stop the alopecia quickly, quickly, quickly is stop getting your hair braided. I know, I know you don't want to do that because maybe that's the way that you conceal your alopecia. Yeah, but stop getting your hair braided. Well, what if you don't get your hair braided and you have alopecia? Again, there's different kinds of alopecia. There's male pattern baldness alopecia where you lose your hair on the top first. This can be the case with men and women, believe it or not, and that hair loss is more a sign of circulation problems. You're not really circulating blood to your hair follicles and so your body has to make a decision and it just cuts off the circulation of certain hair follicles to save the others and you go bald. So the answer to that is to increase the circulation, increase your water intake, increase your cayenne pepper intake, increase the dumping of waste. A lot of times these very small vessels are clogged with waste products. If you are drinking dairy of any kind, stop it. That is, without knowing any more, really the best I could tell you.

(41:00) All right. Hi Dr. Daniels, I found your email in Truth Files. I have a tooth that has been root canaled three years ago. I'm thinking about extracting it. Okay, so I have a tooth that's been root canaled since I was 16. I am 63 years old. I have done nothing to it. It is sitting there. It bothers me about once every eight months to two years. I'll get a little tingle in there, dab it with some trippin' time, bam, done. So I leave it alone. So don't trouble trouble unless trouble troubles you. So yes, you got the root canal. Yes, it was a bad idea, but since you have the root canal, got a tooth, if it's doing its job, looking good, chewing your food, I say let it go. Let it slide.

(41:57) Ah, here's the real question here. I also have another tooth that has a decay that needs filling. All right, so let us talk about what's really going on with you. What's really going on with you is you have a diet that is, does not contain the nutrition that your teeth, your immune system needs to repair and maintain your teeth. That is what's going on. So what is missing from your diet? Um, very simply, uh, ham hocks, pig's feet, beef tendons, any and all of these, uh, and you will see your teeth tighten up, your teeth pain go away, and literally it will improve in days and save you thousands of dollars of agony. So what I would do is make that addition to your diet, cut out all your processed food, definitely poop three times a day. You can check out Vitality Capsules at VitalityCapsules.com, but the key thing here is you've got to eat the connective tissue spare parts that you need. And I would do that for at least a couple of weeks, and then should you decide you still need to get the tooth filled, which you probably do, then I'd recommend, uh, a composite or epoxy type filling.

(43:26) All right, what else we got here? Hi, Dr. Daniels. I am a retired disabled chiropractor. Hmm, interesting. I received a heart transplant about one year ago. I'm sorry to hear that. I was poisoned by mercury over 20 years ago when I had my amalgams removed. This is why I do not recommend anyone get their amalgams removed. If there's any way you can live with them, live with them. All right, I have some questions regarding my immunosuppressive drugs about, along with some health issues I can't seem to resolve. Jesus Christ, can we get a question here? All right, so we have no question.

(44:07) Okay, Dr. Daniels, I'm trying to get rid of a tumor without chemo pills. My blood plates, I think they mean platelets, are low due to being a diabetic. The two are not related, just saying. My doctors have had me in on a drug until my platelets went down. What's next? I don't know. I know you don't have the cure, but do you have any practical suggestions? First of all, are you type 1 or type 2 diabetic? If you're type 2 diabetic, the first thing you need to do is stop being diabetic. So if you're a type 2 diabetic, go to VitalityCapsules.com, download the free report, The Candida Cleaner, follow that diet, and in about two weeks, more or less, you will no longer be diabetic, and you will not need your diabetes medicines. That is the first step, and that is a practical suggestion. All the diabetic medicines cause tumors. Yeah, so you are not going to get rid of any tumor while you are diabetic and taking diabetic medications.

(45:19) Hi doc, hope you're well. Yes, thank you, I am. Quick question, which is not quick. Does turpentine detox heavy metals from the body? And if it does detox heavy metals, can you tell me which ones? So this person is a total victim of the medical industrial complex fragmented thinking, and that's unfortunate. So the way the body works is it takes heavy metals and stores them in your connective tissue. So the other thing that the body does, the body has a nutritional requirement for trace minerals, and when you don't have enough trace minerals in your diet, the body takes these heavy metals and uses them in enzymes in place of the trace minerals it really is looking for. So your body is not going to let go of heavy metals unless and until, one, you give it the healthy trace minerals it really wants, then it will just let go of the unhealthy ones it doesn't need. Then you need to also put enough connective tissue in, so the body will literally dump the connective tissue that is filled with the heavy poisonous metals from your body. And they will use the uncontaminated connective tissue that you're putting in. So to ask which heavy metals would you detox, this is the point that your body has a system in place for handling heavy metals, and it's not a receptor-based this heavy metal, that heavy metal, as the medical industrial complex would have you believe. So with your present reasoning process, it's not possible to reason yourself to a cure. So let's dispense with your reasoning process and just get you straight to the cure. So what you want to do is you want to take Shilajit. This is an organic trace mineral blend that will give your body all the trace minerals it needs, causing it to let go of the poisonous heavy metals. That's number one. Number two, you want to put in a connective tissue source, a clean connective tissue source. That would be like an animal that has not had antibiotics or hormones. Preferably no pesticides, but what are you going to do? And you want to eat, the part of that particular animal that you want to eat would be, if it's a cow, it would be the ox tail or the tail of the cow, or it would be the cow feet. If it's a pig, maybe the pig ears or the ham hocks or the pig feet. The ox tail does not need to have the skin attached, but all the other pieces do need to have the skin attached. With the other pieces, no skin, no cure. So there you have it. That will get rid of your heavy metals.

(48:48) Contradicts, I have Lyme disease chronic. Can you suggest anything that would kill it? Again, you can't reason yourself to the truth starting from a lie. So Lyme disease, as it's presented to the public, does not exist. The truth of Lyme disease is that there is no tick vector involved, and that Lyme disease is actually simply syphilis, and it's a contaminant of vaccines. That's the bald truth. So what you really have is syphilis. The basic cure for syphilis historically has been turpentine. So I would say definitely go to VitalityCapsules.com and download your free report, The Candida Cleaner, and follow those instructions.

(50:02) Dr. Jones, is there a cure for spasmodic dysphonia? So dysphonia generally is painful speech, but let's just look this up. Make sure we've got this right. Ah, hoarse voice, known as dysphonia or hoarseness. Okay. So it's having an abnormal voice. It depends on when your voice was abnormal. If it's abnormal from birth, I would say probably, you know, you've got what you've got. The other question is, when did it become hoarse? So I think the first, yeah, so I don't have a lot of information about that in terms of what might be your precipitating situation. But let's just say, you know, let's just say you didn't have it from birth. Let's just say it showed up one day and you're like, well, what happened? Well, there's two things that can cause it. One would be a chronic low-grade infection around the vocal cords, if that's the case. Then gargling with a teaspoon of whiskey, maybe four times a day would solve it. Or you might have a total body connective tissue deficiency where your immune system is simply dissolving your vocal cords or not maintaining them so they can maintain other connective tissue structures that it deems more important. So the chronic infection situation, the whiskey will take care of. The chronic malnutrition situation would require a total diet overhaul where you would stop eating stuff that depletes connective tissue and you would add more connective tissue. There are a lot of people who will try and get you to take a shortcut, oh, just buy some collagen supplements. They're not nearly as effective as eating the actual collagen itself, which would be the animal feet. That would be pig feet, chicken feet, or cow feet. That's the simplest, simple story. Or another collagen, very high collagen food would be pig ears. That would be the way to go.

(53:00) Okay, 67, I think I might have a hernia. I don't want to go to the doctor and find out for sure. If you think you have a hernia and it does show up with heavy lifting or something, and you don't want to go to the doctor, you're 67, don't really bother with any surgery, then just get a truss, T-R-U-S-S, and you can Google trusses, and depending on where your hernia is, just buy a truss that would provide support at that area, and then you'll be able to do things like close your windows, and it won't be painful because you'll have that particular support.

(53:33 - 53:52)
